Welcome to The Cottage Mystic


Welcome! My name is Jess, and I've been a practicing witch for over 20 years. During that time I've been a part of two covens (one a kitchen witch based coven and one wiccan based coven), but mostly prefer to work solitary.

Over the years I've experimented with many different types of magick; from Ceremonial magick, Chaos magick, and Heathenry, to less witchcraft based practices such as Buddhism and Taoism. At the moment my path is primarily water witchcraft, inspired by Celtic practices and folklore from around the UK.

I am mostly known as a writer; my current books include 'Pagan Portals: The Art of Lithomancy'; 'Pagan Portals: The Water Witch'; 'Meditations To Soothe The Soul' (Amazon e-book only); and 'Energy Healing For Modern Life' (released March 2026) . I'm always up for reviewing others work, supporting small businesses, or helping out with podcasts, interviews, etc., so please just give me a shout if there is anything I can do!

This website originally started as a blog on blogspot; however, I enventually wanted to do more with it, so invested in this site. All of the pages you see are taken from that blog, which is why it may seem like such a random assortment of information for now. I am working on building up the sections on the various topics as I go, so please bear with me!

If there is anything you particularly want to see on this site, or have any feedback, then please contact me and let me know! I'm always looking for new topics to do pieces on, and would be happy to help.

Blessed Be.

My Publications:

Lithomancy is an ancient, although largely forgotten form of divination, where we use stones to bring insight and clarity, and divine the future. Learn how to create your own set and interpret the messages of the stones with this hands-on book.
This short book is my only self-published offering (available on Amazon Kindle only). It includes a short introduction to meditation, but most importantly, over 40 guided meditations for you to try to aid you in all aspects of life.
Water witchcraft is a path which has been growing in popularity recently. But what does it mean to be a water witch? How does one practice? From deities to spirits, ways of working with water, spells, working with water animal guides, and a lot more are all covered in this book.
Written as a manual for those who are interested in energy healing, it contains everything from getting started, to different methods of energy healing, managing the energies in your environment, and building a cohesive practice.
